How to create a folder with name "con" ??

It was dicovered that nobody can create a folder named as "con" in windows.
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable...
Note : This should be through & in windows only.

ANS.

1. Right click on desktop
2. Make new folder
3. Type CON and ALT+255.

OR

1. Goto command prompt

2. Type in prompt e:\> "mkdir \\.\e:\con"

3. Verify by typing "dir \\.\e:\con"

4. Delete the file or folder "rmdir \\.\e:\con"

So This is How you can easily make Folders with name "CON" , "COM1", "LPT1" etc :)
